IMPROVEMENT iNHEATING-sTovEs.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 165,259, dated July 6, 1875; application filed December 14, 1874.

To all whom it may concern Bc it known that I, HENRY J oNEs RUTTAN,

`Heatingstoves, of which the fbllowingris a specification My improved stove is constructed with tw vertical trunks connected by horizontal radiating line-tubes, and is supported upon two pedestals constituting receptacles for ashes, dust, and soot. The fronttrunk contains the nre-chamber, above which is a horizontal partition, compelling the productsof combustion to pass through horizontal tubes into the rear trunk, from which they are conducted through a second set of horizontal tubes to the upper portionv of the forward trunk, whence they escape into the discharging-flue. The radiating tubes are preferably inclosed in a box or casing, constituting a chamber, to the lower part of which cold air is admitted, and from the upper part of which it is discharged in a heated state. Doors are provided in the front, in proper position to permit the cleaning of the flue-tubes, as hereinafter described. y

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a'vertical longitudinal section on the line l l, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 isa verticalV transverse section the line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on the line 3 3, Fig. l.

A and B represent, respectively, a front and a rear trunk connected` by horizontal tubes C and D-any necessary number of tubes being used in each cluster. Thefront trunk A contains the aslrpit E, (constituting a pedestal to support the front ofthe stove,) the rebox F, the upper chamber G, and a horizontal partition, H, separating the fire-box F and chamber G. The lower range of tubes C communicates with the fire-chamber F, and the upper range of tubes D communica-tes with the chamber G above.V .All of the tubes open at their rear ends into the rear trunk B.

stitutes a pit or receptacle for ashes, dust, or

soot,.which may be "precipitated from the products of combustionor discharged from flue-tubes in cleaning. J is a collar, to which a direct-draft liuc may be connected, or the The' lpedestal I supporting the rear trunk B conthe illustration. L represents a collar for the discharge-due from the chamber G. M is the induction for cold air into the chamber N, which surrounds the radiating tubes (l and D. O l? represent collars, by which any desirable number of pipes may be connected for the conduction of heated air to other apartments, or from which the heated air may be discharged into the apartment where the stove is used, if preferred. Q is the door of the ash-pit E, provided with a draft-register, R' Sis the lire-door, which also aords facility foi` cleaning the lower range of tubes C. T is a door, affordingA access to the upper chamber and upper range of tubes D, for cleaning the same. U is a door, affording access to the rear pedestal I, for the purpose of removing dust, ashes, and soot therefrom. The fender V, and graterW, may be constructed in any suitable manner.

A fire being kindled in the fireplace F, a direct draft may be provided from the outlet J, if preferred; but under ordinary circumstances the draft will be amply sulicient through the tubes C, rear trunk B, tubes D,- upper chamber Gr, and outlet L. The passage of the products of combustion in this manner causes a large extent of radiating surface within the apartment in which the stove is placed, and also for 4heatingrair within the` chamber N,Whieh air, being supplied through the inlet M, is rapidly yheated by contact with theV horizontal tubes C and D, and is discharged above, through as 'many outlets O P as may be provided. VThe horizontal fines C D afford in this mannerhighly effective radiating surfaces, while they provide, at the same time, ample draft for the products of combustion. By means of the doors S T, the pedestal I, and the door U giving access to the interior of said pedestal, the flues and all parts ofthe stove may be very readily cleansed and kept free. When the fuel is in active combustion the door S may be opened so as to give a cheerful open lireplace. The partition H is'removable, so that7 if preferred, the products of combustion may A-be caused to pass directly backward through all thetubes C D, and escape through the direct outlet J, the collar L being closed by the cap K. It will be observed that the construction of my stove, as above described, adapts it to be4 H in the stove, constructed as herein cleuscdiin either manner at will, without any scribed, with two trunks, A B, connectingchange in its structure. tubes C D, and two collars, J L, for either The following is claimed as new: direct or reversed draft.
